  • Beautiful work. Robert, can you add me as a friend?  I would like to inquire about some your aerial footage for a documentary I am working on.  Thanx!

  • Its a good job it was not eaten, now that would have been a nasty video !

  • This is wonderful :) Good job on using old fashioned "keep an eye on it" telemetry the cam back :)

  • FBV "First Bird Video ! "(there might be others ???) It reminds me of something  the two" Notorious"  seagulls of Red Skeleton Fame "Gertrude and Hecliff "(think the names are right? ) might have done ? It was done on a "Dare!" the one seagull said to the other seagull  " I Dare you to grab that guys  Go Pro and Shoot some Video of the Bay!"
    The other seagull said " Oh Yeah Watch this You are the Chicken."  Swooped down grabbed the Gopro Shot  Video of the bay  Took it off shore a ways to scare the Crap out of the Owner  brought it back and put it on the shore so the owner could get it back Then took video of himself to  making the get away prove he had done it !
    Today? All the  seagulls are huddled around down the Dock watching the Video on a lap top they "Scooped while " scrounging for fries at Mc Donalds!  As for the  comercial
    spinnoffs " Go Pro the choice of Mother Natures creatures!" Feed back from the birds"

    1. Shorter strap so the camera is easier to grip  can hang level when shooting video

    2.Shave off a few ounces to prevent neck strain.

  • @ Ravi: from programing the bird, you have to solder another 6 pins on the back of the board for the spi ^^

  • It's not closed source.  DNA is open source.  We just haven't been able to learn the programming language yet.

    I wish I lived somewhere where I would win the GoPro giveaway and getthe camera delivered by a seagull
  • amazing! i have never seen anything like that. such incidents happen by chance. the cam was ON when it was picked by the bird. thanx for sharing such a rare video. well, i am getting some ideas. how to program a bird?

  • Should try the pidgeon version of the airframe, the RTL works much better.
